End-of-Semester Cleanup

  • If you are weeding your office over the summer, please feel free to send materials (including casebooks!) to the library.
  • Have you looked at your entries in the exam archive recently? Please check to make sure that old exams and model answers/best exams
    are complete. If they’re not, please send any additional documents to the Registrar.

As you are cleaning out your offices for the summer, don’t forget the Law Center Archives!  We collect the history of the Law Center, and are always in search of official documentation of the Law Center’s activities.  Especially important are minutes of faculty meetings and minutes of committees which have completed their work  (If the committee is still active, hang on to that documentation until the committee’s work is completed).

We do not need: alumni directories, bulletins, Res Ipsa/Georgetown Law, Georgetown Law Weekly, or Community of Scholars. We have plenty of copies of those publications already; many of them are available electronically in Digital Georgetown.

If you have questions concerning files in your office, feel free to contact Carole Prietto, the Law Center Archivistat 662-9149 or cap166@georgetown.edu and she will be happy to work with you.

New Acquisition in Special Collections:  On the Criminal Side of Things…

Special Collections recently acquired Metropolitan Police Blotter 27, of the 22nd Precinct New York City that spans the dates July 29, 1864 to October 8, 1864. Precinct 22 is situated on the west side of Manhattan in the area that later became Hell’s Kitchen. The blotter is an hour by hour account of life in one of New York City’s well known tough neighborhoods through the eyes of those charged with keeping it safe.

TaxAnalysts content on Lexis – available for an additional month

Although it was originally communicated back in December the Tax Analysts® content would be removed June 1, 2018, that content will now remain available until June 31st.

Plagiarism Detection Software

Plagiarism detection software Turnitin is available in Canvas if you have concerns and would like to examine student work using this tool for yourself. UIS has a detailed explainer on how to use Turnitin in Canvas.

The library also provides an ad hoc service for plagiarism checks. This service is available only when there has been a review by faculty of the document(s) leading to the conclusion that there is a likelihood of plagiarism, usually referred to us by the Registrar’s office or Ethics Counsel.  We do not perform these checks for faculty who wish to have all of the papers in a specific class checked.
